A contemporary says :—" Several of the most expensive buildings in Broadway, in Broad-street and in Wall-street are owned by the Empress Eugenie, who derives from them, every year, a rent of 6 >,<Xl© dollars. When the Duke of NasSl »i, one of the dispossessed German princes of 1866, was here in 1868, he purchased tenements in Allen-street, that today are nominally owned by German notaries public, and that yield him twelve per cent, on the capital invested. Tfoe Grand Duke of Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Fredtr.ck Francis 11., is the owner of lots and houses in Elm-street. Queen Victoria own considerable real estate in Broadway, which stands in the name of an Englishman. The King of Sweden owns 500,000 dollars worth of real estate in New Ytrk ; and the Grand Duke Alexis owns a hotel in Broadway. King Bomba bought six houses in Greenwich-street in 1852; and they are held by Italians, for Lis son Francis II."
